As far as I could understand, browsing windows are now no more than thin clients to browserd where actually work occurs. Thus, if something is going to crash while you are browsing, it will be browserd itself. And once it goes into cardiac arrest (as it often does when it chokes on some CSS or JS code), killing it is more difficult than just closing a window.
